We all know that prevention is better than cure. The following are ways to prevent bugs and insects from infesting your beautiful home:
Seal openings and cracks
Small insects and flies get into the house through tiny openings that we may often ignore. Find time to do a full inspection of your home sealing off all cracks in Windows and screens. Block all entry points that bugs may use to get into the house
Clean regularly
A clean home in a sure way of getting rid of most, if not all bugs. Sweep and vacuum the floors and carpets to remove dirt and food droppings that will attract bugs. Mopping the floors with detergent and disinfectant often to keep away the bugs.
Dry damp places
Bugs are also in search of water when they move in to the house. Have all areas in the house damp free. Check for drainage spills or faulty taps and get them fixed immediately. This will keep away bugs such as centipedes and slugs that mostly enjoy damp places.
Clean outside the house
Keep a clean compound all the time. Sweep or get a leaf blower to remove all leaves from the ground. Pick up all litter and dispose of it correctly. If you keep firewood stacked outside be sure to check for bugs before bringing it inside. Clear the lawn and cut all weeds around the house.
Clean up the kitchen
The kitchen is the most common attraction for bugs. This is because of the presence of food in there. Always store food in air tight container and store them in a cool and dry place. For food that is perishable, store them in the refrigerator. Clean up the counter tops and back splash for food spills and crumbs. Always sweep and mop the kitchen floor everyday. Remember to always take out trash, empty and clean the trash cans regularly
These are ways to ensure you do not have unwanted crawling guests in your space. Keep a clean home at all times.
